Shoegaze On II

Anything U Want

The Death Of Pop - Only Now

Slowdive EP is 25 years old. It was released by Creation Records on November 5th, 1990.

When the band reformed for 2014, it seemed obvious to us to start our live shows by playing the Slowdive EP at the top of the set list. It sets out where we originally came from, and sets the scene for where we were going. And to celebrate that, we'd like to present a free live recording of Avalyn, performed during our USA / Canada tour last year. We are currently working on releasing the entire live set from that tour as a collection, so look out for news of that soon.

Vocals / Guitar - Neil Halstead
Vocals - Rachel Goswell
Guitar - Christian Savill
Bass Guitar - Nick Chaplin
Drums - Simon Scott

Song written by Halstead/Goswell/Savill/Chaplin/Sell

Makes Me Float Inside

I started playing this by accident, then got a bit carried away and recorded it. Probably my all time favourite band, I hope I've done it justice.
Oh, and the picture is a slug in water. Best I could do to combine thehoodedclaw and ride ;)

It's no secret that Australia has a burgeoning shoegaze scene. From within the burgeoning Melbourne shoegaze community, Bloodhounds On My Trail are set to release ‘Escape II’ internationally through UK-based label Raphalite Records. This deluxe edition of their debut EP ‘Escape’ will also feature additional tracks ‘She’s In My Plans’ and a remix of ‘Jolly’ by celebrated dreampop duo Ummagma.

'Jolly' is the first single off this EP. "Jolly is about having a good moment when you've been having a bit of a difficult time and wanting to not let it go to waste. Happy for people to enjoy our music and take what they want out of it. How it makes them feel. The message is in the ears of the listener," explains Bloodhounds guitarist Chris Donaldson. 

With a love of shoegaze bands of the late 1980s to early 90s, Bloodhounds On My Trail seek to fuse the rhythmic underpinnings of bands like the Velvet Underground and the Stooges with the infectious stylings of shoegaze luminaries such as Cocteau Twins and Slowdive. 

Since playing their first show in February 2014, the band has been blossoming through a whirlwind combination of live shows, festivals and recording sessions. Their music was met with positive reactions, encouraging press, and invitations to play with notable Australian artists such as Lowtide, Contrast, and White Walls.

Thanks to Tonedeaf and Gabe Lewis from Lowtide, one of the foremost shoegaze acts in Australia, Bloodhounds on My Trail began to be known as one of the best Aussie shoegaze acts around. "They sound like how I want my guitars to sound," Gabe explains. "Needless to say, I was immediately hooked. Really languid, cascading washes, and wearing their pastoral shoegaze influences on their sleeves.”

All of this prompted the band to formally commit their hazy tones to tape at Birdland Studios with renowned engineer Matt Hosking, who was the perfect match for the band - also being deeply immersed in shoegaze music and having a record of outstanding work with fellow shoegazers Lowtide, Contrast, Parading and Hideous Towns. This year has also seen the band gain momentum with appearances at local gaze festivals alongside Flyying Colours, Immigrant Union, Black Cab and Day Ravies.

"I hope for people to enjoy it and get a buzz off our tunes. We ain't preaching anything, just making music we find exciting and want to record and play live," says Johnny Green. 

Bloodhounds are Johnny Green (guitar, vocals), Chris Donaldson (guitar), Nik Donaldson (drums) and Ché Walden (bass). In 2014, Shoegazemania named 'Escape' the year's number 2 EP, which also ranked high in DKFM's top EPs of 2014. Both Custom Made Music and Terapija.net included ‘She’s In My Plans’ at #6 in their top songs of 2014.

Meltdown

The first three tracks follow the steps of his second album Waves and the tracks were to be included on his 3rd full length for 2010 but in the creative process the music developed from progressive Dream Pop Shoegaze like on his other albums (Rumskib, Ferris Wheel Make, Waves) to Psych Pop. So, these tracks were saved for this special vinyl only EP release.

The last track is a beautiful ambient guitar track calming you down nicely after the first explosive rush.

A must have for fans of the new wave of Dream Pop, Shoegaze, Chill Wave.
